Conversations either continue or they don’t. You shouldn’t be hard on yourself. If someone says something that makes you want to say or ask something else, great. If not, that’s fine too.

I enjoy Lemmy because I tend to get a response. Despite the higher pop at Reddit, I often go ignored. It’s not unusual to have a back and forth chat with another commenter in a given thread here.

Games like Mega Man and Final Fantasy, which had limited storytelling and even more limited visuals, spoke more to me then where I had to fill in the blanks with my imagination. As they evolved with more involved plots and graphical styles that were distinct (realism, anime) I became disinterested in them. A lot of it had to do with being told “this is what Mega Man/Final Fantasy is,” with my gut disagreeing entirely.

I want “old school” visuals with modern gameplay. Shovel Knight is an example. Loved that game. If they made a Mega Man that looked like 1 or 2, but had more to do (a Metroidvania would be one idea) that would be where I’d like to see things go. Part of the puzzle was trial and error with boss powers. You’d enter a level and learn fairly quickly whether that level was appropriate for the power you’d obtained. What about using those powers to traverse/manipulate the environment? Unlock hidden areas, not just as a tool to defeat the next boss.

What would you have wanted? I didn’t play 9 or 10, but they look like more of the same.

I’m not sure I like this one either. The last one I enjoyed was 2. I played the others up to the SNES versions, which I did not enjoy.

That was the owner of the company.

Cool. I need to catch up on justice league.

Mint Chocolate Chip Soft Batch cookies. Once they disappeared, the cookie changed to taste like Soft Chips Ahoy.

I thought this would be the Fox News clip but this is more succinct and better

Same. I’m middle aged and never used Tik Tok. Or Instagram.

If life has taught us anything, it’s that you eventually get tired of everything.

I love NMS for what it is. A sandbox. Some people don’t like playing in one. That’s fine.

It’s like Mad Max out here

Imagine being a Nazi and having to put up with town halls. It must be exhausting.

Leaving South Carolina to enter North Carolina or Georgia, the roads are so much better and there’s a noticeable decrease in overall loudness in road noise.

Captured Congress, doesn’t matter which side when it comes to Israel.

Are we still doing phrasing also thank god they’re not coming for the ultra violence and graphic scenes of bodily dismemberment

Unfortunately no. Speaking truth to power pays just shy of what you’d get as an art gallery attendant. There’s fringe benefits: you get to keep your soul when you go

This was a bit on the Daily Show almost word for word.
